Ganymede and the Flex 3 Plugin

Greetings Everyone!
We received this error when creating a new application in a
Flex project :
org.eclipse.jface.util.Assert$AssertionFailedException:
Assertion failed:
{...dump removed...}
It cannot open the editor when you create a new project. We
can use the Flex-based eclipse, but we'd like to use the plugin.
Any help or links to the update would be great.
Thank you,
Dave

Same problem here! is there any release date for an update
(3.0.1?) so we can use the FB-plugin in eclipse ganymede?

Getting the Flex Builder Plugin for Eclipse

I may be a dope, but I can't tell you how long it took me to
find the download for the Flex Builder plugin for an existing
install of Eclipse. If you're looking for the plugin, go to the
last line of the FlexBuilder standalone download page--and then, in
the last line, you will see a link buried in the line--click on
that, and you will get the download. Adobe, this is really, really
stupid way to organize your downloads.

Ha, I'm not alone ;)
Thanks for pointing it out. It might seem obvious once you
notice the link, but I totally missed it.
The Adobe flex builder rips off numerous useful features that
eclipse offers, such as the ability to search all files, and it is
very inconvenient.

What's the best way to mix AIR 14 and the Flex 3.5 SDK and use new AIR features?

I am returning to development of a popular desktop AIR app, after about 4 years of no code changes. Both AIR and Flex have actively moved forward during my coding absence, and it is time to play catch up.
When last built, the app was using Flex 3.5 and AIR 2.6.
End Goal - I want my app to look good on high density displays
I'd like to keep Flex version at 3.5, but use the newer version of AIR, to render more clearly on high density displays (Retina on OSX and hiDPI on Win8).
The pixel doubling performed by the "compatibility" modes of OSX.Retina or Win8.hiDPI make my app look pretty gross, and the customer base is starting to complain.
While I may eventually switch over to the Apache Flex SDK to bring the application design into the current state, my customer base just doesn't care right now. They like the current app, but want it to work, out-of-the-box, on high density displays.
So I need to limit my scope to changing only the AIR SDK, not the Flex SDK at this time.
Step 1 - Overlaying AIR14 SDK on Flex 3.5
I followed the official generic overlay instructions here, and that worked well enough. I named my hybrid SDK folder "3.5.0.AIR14". I have been able to recompile, run, and verify my app using the hybrid SDK. (my app is compiled and packaged from an ant script, using the Antennae framework. I had already switch SDKs a number of times over the initial course of development, so pointing my project to a new SDK was pretty simple enough.
Step 2 - Updating the app.xml descriptor
This part was also easy. I used the templates\air\descriptor-template.xml as a starting point, customizing the name, app id, and folders. Now my app descriptor is correctly based on the <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/14.0"> namespace.
Step 3 - Enabling Retina/hiDPI support - Help??
I added <requestedDisplayResolution>high</requestedDisplayResolution> to the <initialWindow> tag of the app descriptor, but that made no difference. The app compiles, installs, and runs, but pixel doubling is still occurring and the app looks gross.
I also tried setting the SWF version to 25, according to the official overlay guide. This proved to be more difficult. The official overlay guide suggests setting the -swf-version=25 compiler option, but that option is not supported by the Flex 3.5 compiler. So all I had to try was using the legacy -target-player=25 compiler option. That setting was accepted by the compiler, and it produced a SWF with byte offset 0x3 == 0x19 (25 dec), so that appears to be right.
But -target-player=25 didn't have any effect either.
Is setting the SWF version even required? Isn't the whole point of using the AIR 14 namespace in the app descriptor the way of telling the compiler "I want to use all features of the AIR 14 release". Why do I need to tell the compiler multiple times to use all the features of the SDK I'm compiling with? It just seems weird to me.
Have I missed a secret setting somewhere?
How can I tell the AIR runtime to simply run as pixel-dense as possible? When the workarounds listed below are performed, my app looks fantastic on high-density displays. But its the pixel scaling that is making everything look bad, and I desperately want to get this fixed.
Workarounds?
On Windows 8+, we are asking our users to enable the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" checkbox on the AIR application shortcut. This works, but is a confusing setting for average users to discover. Most just give up in frustration.
On OSX, we can't even disable Retina mode on a per-application basis, its all or nothing, so that's even worse. SwitchResX will automatically switch resolutions based on the selected app, but that's a pretty clunky (and non-free) workaround too.
Any other workaround ideas are appreciated too.
Cheers,
Doug

It took me a while to figure out (without much help from Adobe, grrr!), since some internet writeups were terse and implied somehow that AIR's Retina support (setting your app descriptor's <initialWindow/requestedDisplayResolution> to high) would also work on Windows. They don't.
On OSX, the steps to disable pixel-doubling are:
update your app descriptor to AIR 14
set initialWindow/requestedDisplayResolution = high
compile with SWF version 25 or greater
vector assets, including text, will scale automatically
you'll need to replace your bitmap assets with Retina-quality bitmaps as appropriate
when running on a Retina display, you will see stage.contentsScaleFactor=2. It will be 1 for non-Retina displays.
On Windows, the pixel-doubling kicks in when you have a HiDPI scaling set to about 150% or greater (hiDPI scaling was introduced in Win7). There is no way to detect from within an AIR app when Windows is doing its HiDPI scaling. stage.contentsScaleFactor is always 1, under all configurations.
The only thing you can do for AIR apps on Windows is explicitly disable display scaling (like you have done) and update your app to manually scale all UI elements at runtime (that's really gross and hard, and it what I working on right now).
For my app, I updated our Windows installer to set the registry to disable hiDPI scaling, for all users, just for our app. Here's how you do that:
Key = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
Name = <fullPathToYourExe>
Type = REG_SZ
Value = "~ HIDPIAWARE" (without the quotes, tilde space HIDPIAWARE)
That should be set in the full 64-bit registry, not the Wow32Node registry, even if your app is a 32-bit app (which all AIR apps are). If your installer is a 32-bit app (mine was), you may need to jump through some hoops to have it affect the 64-bit registry hive from a 32-bit process.
If you only want to change the setting for the current user (not all users), the KEY root is HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
If you don't have an explicit installer for your AIR app (ie. if you are deploying from the web via a badge installer), then you're even more messed up, and you will need to tell your users to disable the scaling manually.
I know, it's a total pain. I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Doug

What is the relationship between Acrobat Pro, Acrobat Reader, and the Acrobat Reader Plugin for Firefox?

Mozilla's plugin scanner identifies an old version of the Reader plugin on my machine. The download indicates a massive 55 MB size, and implies that Reader itself will be installed on my machine. HOWEVER, I don't want Reader installed! I use Acrobat Pro and I have noticed some problematic interactions over the years.

Pixel Bender and the Droste Effect plugin from Adobe Labs

I was just wanting to know if the above plugin can be used with PSE 11, since PSE 11 is based on CS5, and CS5 is what the plugin is designed for.....? It would be a genuine blast to work with a filter like that; I can think of a dozen different pictures I'd try making with it.

I don't know about the Droste Effect, but Pixel Bender doesn't work with PSE, alas.

I use firefox 3.6.20 and the firefox sync plugin dissapered, where did it go?

Not sure if it needs more information besdies I went to the "what is firefox sync" and got to the install wher ethere was no plugin
was: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync
then: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-sync/
says: "This add-on has been removed by its author. "

Firefox is not offering the Sync add-on to Firefox 3.6 users any longer. If you update to a Firefox 4+ version, you'll be able to use Sync - it is built into the Firefox 4+ versions and doesn't need an add-on.
The Sync service has been expanded to include add-ons ''(in the Nightly 12.0 versions for now)'' within the last week or so, and I suspect Mozilla didn't want to update the Sync add-on for a version which won't be supported for much longer - 3.6 support is slated to end in April.

Eclipse + Flex Builder Plugin + RDS

Hi All,
I've got a strange problem with Eclipse and the Flex Builder
and RDS plugins. I configure the RDS connection in
Window->Preferences->RDS Settings however when I Test the
connection I keep getting the error message "Unable to contact RDS
server 'localhost'". I have the settings configured exactly the
same as they are in HomeSite+. HomeSite+ can connect fine, but
Eclipse cannot!
Has anyone come across this issue or knows of a workaround?
Do I have to install something in a particular order?
Thanks for any help.

Could you please let me know the CF version, install
configuration and OS? CF versions 6.1 and prior are not supported
by the RDS plugin.
We had a similar issue in beta 1 that got fixed and it was
related to the password. If the CF version is not the problem,
please email me your RDS password directly at [email protected] I
know you tried using no password - did you mean the server admin
password or the RDS password (you cannot have a blank RDS
password)?
The order of installing plugins doesn't make a difference.
Thanks,
Farah

Ganymede and NWDS

Hi developers,
I would like to download the EE bundle of Eclipse Ganymede and then install SAP plugins from the local update site unzipped from the NWDS installer.
Can this be achieved? Does the SAP update site work with non-sap eclipses?
Thanks and regards
Vincenzo

Hi Vincenzo,
You can download SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (which is based on Eclipse) from the SAP Service Market Place. You have to navigate to SAP Software Distribution Center and search for SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.
Which version of the Developer Studio do you need?
Best regards,
Ekaterina

Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin

Windows 7 64bit / IE8
I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin thinking they would be reinstalled together when I installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
Now I only see the entry for Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX 10.2.159.1 listed in - Uninstall or change a program.
I was wondering how to get the Adobe Flash Player Plugin?
Thanks.

These are the files listed in the folder.
Flash10p.ocx
FlashInstall.log
FlashUtil10p_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10p_AciveX.exe
I originally uninstalled Flash Player 10 ActiveX and the Flash Player Plugin
thinking they would both be reinstalled with the newer version. When I installed
the newer version of Flash Player 10 ActiveX I noticed the Plugin was missing
and wondered what happened to it. I didn't know it needed to be downloaded
seperatly and I also didn't know what it was for exactly. As it is right now
everything works and since I'm not using any other browser - downloading
the Plugin isn't required. At least now I have an idea what the Plugin it was
intended for and know it's not needed.
Thank You.

Flex 4 and Photoshop CS 5 Plugin

I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I have created a Flex 4 application and placed it into the Plugins\Pannel directory of Photoshop CS5. When I load the plugin and resize it, the plugin scales and does not resize as expected. Is there something I am missing? I have checked some plugins that I created with Flex 3 and they work well. Also I have used blank Flex 4 applications and they also have the same problem where they scale and dont resize.
Thanks
Rob

Hi,
I have been experiencing the same issue. I haven't figured out a clean solution to this yet, and as to why it doesn't resize flex 4 plugins properly but it does resize flex3 plugins..
Just this morning I figured out a workaround. here is a snippet.
<s:WindowedApplication
    width="100%" height="100%"
    resize="windowedapplication1_resizeHandler(event)"
and the resize handler:
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.events.ResizeEvent;
            protected function windowedapplication1_resizeHandler(event:ResizeEvent):void
                parent.parent.scaleX = 1;
                parent.parent.scaleY = 1;
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
I looked into what the parent.parent is, and it seems that its a FlexLoader. There should be some way to keep the flexLoader from scaling.
Let me know if you found out any other solution.

Is the Flex Builder Eclipse Plugin Free?

I posted this quesiton in Flex Builder 2 forum but I thought
maybe it's a bit more appropriate here. If not I apologize.
I'm a total beginner to Flex and Eclipse but I'm just curious
if the Flex Builder Eclipse Plugin is free or do I still need to
purchase the $499 license in order to use it? I'm trying to figure
out what I'm going to use to build my Flex apps and I'd like a nice
IDE like Dreamweaver or CFEclipse with the nice prompts and other
features but $499 is quite steep just to get my feet wet.

Jason,
Yes you still need to purchase - you can install the product
as a full install, or as an eclipse plug in. Trying the 30 day
trial for getting your feet wet is the only option currently. Take
advantage of free training from total training:

Hi OMAW8,
It would be better if you could share us the detailed error message in English.
Do you mean that you could run your test in your build agent machine? If so, I doubt that it would be related to the TFS build. I mean that maybe it is not the test issue.
Please share the detailed error in English, and then post this issue to the TFS-build forum would be better for this issue since it works well in build agent machine.

Firefox plays video, but no sound. when I type about:plugins in location bar, it shows the firefox default plugin is not enabled. When I look at my plugins, it says it is enabled. I have uninstalled 3.6 and re-installed with the same result.

Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems.

My safari keeps closing unexpectedly and when it does it tells me that it quite while using the .GameHouseBeachParty.so plugin. I have no idea what this means! Can someone please help me fix this?
